Knit a delightful deer in Sarah Neal’s whimsical woodland collection. We love his sparkly antlers which add a really Christmassy touch - why not embroider the nose in red to make him look like Rudolph? There’s some colourwork on the face and the Ears, which requires the Fair Isle technique. Strand the yarns evenly across the back of the work, bringing the new colour from under the old to prevent holes from forming.
